Specifying an empty list of static portlets in portal(-ext).properties causes errors. For example, setting the following will cause a NullPointerException:

layout.static.portlets.start.column-1[community]=

The above configuration should behave the same as setting

#layout.static.portlets.start.column-1[community]=
